Maccauvlei Golf Course, known as the “queen of inland links,” is unique for its inland location while offering a seaside course feel. Established with a reputation for its link-like characteristics, it underwent significant restoration by renowned architect Peter Matkovich, who retained its original charm.
The course, now a blend of parkland and links, provides a distinctive golfing experience. While the front nine boasts several notable holes, the true highlight is the back nine, especially the stretch from the 13th hole onwards. This six-hole sequence is celebrated for its beauty and challenge, standing out even in South Africa’s golf-rich landscape.
One of the course’s most famous features is the par-4 17th hole, renowned for its giant bunker, which historically was considered the largest in the world. Maccauvlei Golf Course continues to be a favorite for golfers seeking a blend of history, beauty, and challenging play.
